I just never thought I’d hear GPL software get such a huge shout-out. It was literally the second thing said during the acceptance speech for Flow (best animated picture).
Also, Anora is a story involving sex workers and during two different acceptance speeches (best original screenplay and best picture) they thanks sex workers for sharing their stories with them.
Wasn’t really sure where else to post this. I just thought it was pretty cool. There’s always a bit of pandering in speeches (and it’s not necessarily always bad), but libre software and sex workers were two things I wouldn’t have guessed would get mentions. It was exciting!

Anora was actually pretty good. Also had good humor in it.
I loved it!
I ignore the oscars mostly so thanks. Might check out flow now.
Flow is somewhat weird, kind of “unexplained mystic voyage, with a kitty”. But the animation has a very consistent style through and through, and is a nice visual experience with surprisingly engaging characters.
Anora is a movie about an undereducated, wealth-obsessed American prostitute who gets done over by Russian oligarchs who break promises, employ thugs, and manipulate the law.
Sound familiar?
